“Chiropractic patients were found to be more satisfied with their back care providers after four weeks of treatment than were medical patients.

• Results:
Results from observational studies suggested that back pain patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than with medical care. Additionally, studies conclude that patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than they were with physical therapy after six weeks.”
